Overview
The HMC264LM3TR is a sub-harmonically pumped (x2) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) mixer designed by Analog Devices Inc. This component is versatile and can be used as either an upconverter or a downconverter. It features an integrated Local Oscillator (LO) amplifier and is fabricated using GaAs PHEMT technology, which results in a compact chip size of 1.32 x 0.97 x 0.1 mm. The HMC264LM3TR is suitable for various high-frequency applications due to its robust performance characteristics and small footprint.
